Old
It seemed to Sam that he could separate his life into two completely different sections, Pre-Autobot and Autobot.
Every once in a while, he would entertain the thought of where people that had been so prominent in his Pre-Autobot life were, but those thoughts never lasted very long when you were the ambassador for a gigantic robotic race from space.
His life then, it seemed as improbable as his life now would have seemed to the Old Sam, had he even had the idea to imagine it.
He does not miss it, he would not trade his friendship with Bee and Optimus and all the others for anything heaven, Earth, or Cybertron.
It came as a shock when Sam bumped into Trent at a Wal-Mart while on a visit home, and he realized that the big, bad jock who had once been his tormentor had never managed to leave Tranquility, despite all the talking he had done back in school.
Trent had shoved him, and Sam hit him right back, something the Old Sam, the Pre-Autobot Sam, would have never dared to have done. Sam left the old football star sitting on the tile floor in shock.
The Old Sam might have let people walk all over him, but the Now Sam was nobody's doormat.
